In Scream 2, what fictional university does Sidney Prescott attend?

In Scream 2, Sidney Prescott attends the fictional Windsor College.

The 1997 sequel begins with Sidney as a student at Windsor, where she tries to rebuild her life after the murders in Woodsboro. The campus setting shifts the franchise from a California high school to a university environment, while preserving its mystery-driven structure.

A new Ghostface killer begins targeting students and people connected to Sidney. The film’s academic setting allows the story to explore campus life, media attention, and the public fascination surrounding the original Woodsboro murders. Sidney’s friend Hallie McDaniel and film student Randy Meeks are among the important characters linked to the college setting.

Windsor College is fictional; it should not be confused with the real University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada. Scream 2 was directed by Wes Craven and released in December 1997, making the invented institution one of the sequel’s most recognizable locations. The film’s campus scenes were shot at several real locations, including Agnes Scott College in Georgia.
